Finally, to automate this task an Addin was developed in SolidWorks through the API which did the above analysis and computed the factor of safety by using the mean and alternating Von Misses stresses. SolidWorks and COSMOS put some serious engineering chops at our fingertips, and someday they are going to keep us from kissing our butts goodbye, says Hyneman with his characteristic dry humor. Then, careful analysis was used to check the factor of safety using the Goodman equation. The SolidWorks� model was sized and controlled via Excel.

Once the model was made, and load setup onto the model, simulations were performed to analyze and design the crankshaft for fixed static and fatigue factors of safety using the COSMOS� Addin within the Solidworks. Solidworks 2008-2009 with Cosmos - Student Edition Brand: SolidWorks Corporation.

The main reason for this decision was that a model of a crankshaft with a constant load gives a lot of scope to show how various factors can be changed in the model through the API, such as dimensions and loads. To accomplish these goals, a model of a crankshaft for a small, single acting positive displacement pump, working under constant load was designed in this project. This approach would open more opportunities to explore the powerful tools of COSMOS� through the API. The idea is to show how one can work on the Application Programming Interface through COSMOS�, which until now has not been possible. This project involves the creation of a custom module within COSMOS�, which is an Addin within the Solidworks� environment.
